Senior Advisory · Insurance · Fintech · Energy

When the regulator asks who authorised that tracking, the answer cannot be "an AI agent."

Insurance, fintech, and energy boards now carry accountability for what their digital estate measures - even when release velocity outpaces manual governance. Obscurity is a senior advisory practice providing evidence and control to regulated organisations. We run ConsentMark for clients; the judgement is ours.

Why now

The DPC's final decision against IAB Europe (May 2022, confirmed on appeal in 2025) made clear that TCF banner deployments across regulated estates need controller-level evidence the CMP itself cannot provide. At the same time, code agents and release automation are changing tracking surfaces faster than manual review can keep up. Obscurity gives boards and DPOs the independent, timestamped evidence to demonstrate ongoing control of what their site actually ships.

How we engage

How we work with you

Obscurity operates ConsentMark on your behalf. Every engagement starts with a free 45-minute Governance Posture Call - a senior conversation about whether managed governance is the right fit. The recommended next step is a Governance Posture Review. Retainers are scoped and priced consultatively.

Governance Posture Call
A senior conversation about governance exposure. We review your current measurement landscape and assess whether a managed engagement is the right fit. No preparation or commitment required.
Duration

02
Governance Posture Review
A bounded engagement that assesses where your organisation stands. You receive a dated, board-ready written findings memo covering your measurement estate, consent posture, and governance gaps. The recommended first step after the Governance Posture Call.

About
D
Dónal Troddyn
Founder, Obscurity

Every engagement is led personally by the founder. This is deliberate - analytics governance for regulated organisations requires deep technical knowledge, regulatory context, and the judgement to make calls that affect compliance posture. That expertise does not delegate well.


Delivery is accelerated by ConsentMark, our proprietary scanning and monitoring platform. What would take a team of consultants weeks to audit manually, our tooling validates continuously. The result: principal-level advisory at implementation speed.
